I bought this plane as a trainer to learn to fly.I bought the RTF kit. I was super happy with the fit and finish of it. Took it out a open field and put the radio in novice mode. I took it off and it flew really good very predictable and slow. Before long I was in intermediate mode then experienced mode. The battery that comes in the kit only lasts about four minutes. I recomend the Tattu 220mah battery I am getting seven minutes out of them get a few. I have been flying it for about four weeks now along side another large scale trainer and I always take it up first to get my feet wet. Love the plane! The service is great at SN HOBBIES!!!
